Gerrit Cole signs with the Yankees to a 9 year, $324 Mil deal.
Yowza. I own him in AL Only at $34 due extension, so I'm glad he stayed in the AL, but I was really rooting for the Angels. Nice early xmas gift for Yankee fans.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

With that Yankee bullpen, Cole is about as close to a lock for 20 wins as anyone. Then too Cole is the one guy who can give that bullpen a rest when needed.
Did any other teams even make a serious bid for Cole? Or did they just say forget it when they heard what the Yankees were offering?“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

All of this means that the Twins aren't getting anyone of consequence, because all starter values have now shot up to the point where they won't pay.
BTW, Cole will now make roughly a MILLION dollars per start."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

I expect the trading side of the hot stove to get busier now that the main FAs are landing.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

Angels sign Anthony Rendon to a 7 year, $245 Million deal.
With Pujols almost finished, they needed another albatross contract to sleep at night.Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

Like you said, only 2 years.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.
